Steve Keith, who has won two Southern Section basketball titles in the last six years at Glendale High School, has been named basketball coach at Irvine High, Principal Gary Norton said Thursday.

For those of us who lack form (or grace), the world of ballet may be a place where few of us will tread but which never fails to captivate the audience and transport it to seemingly otherworldly places. This photo from photographer Armineh Hovanesian captures that experience. Who would guess that this photo - with its rows of dancers and lights - takes place at none other than the Glendale High School auditorium? Taken April 28, this photo was shot with an iPhone at the Djanbazian Dance Academy annual concert.

At lunchtime Tuesday, more than a dozen Glendale High School students trekked across the street to Jerry's Place, a popular hamburger stand whose owner was arrested last week on suspicion of dealing cocaine from behind the counter.

Vandals broke into a Glendale high school, started a fire that caused an estimated $1 million in damage and wrote the Satanic symbol "666" on a chalk board, officials said Wednesday.

A 17-year-old boy with a history of truancy problems was so angry at being expelled from Hoover High School in Glendale that he set it afire, causing $2.9 million in damage, police said Wednesday.

Glendale school officials say they will cancel plans to open what would have been one of the state's first full-time evening high schools in September because of a lack of student interest. The proposed school--praised as an innovative solution to overcrowded campuses--was set to operate at Glendale High School under a different name, with a different principal, staff and student body, from about 2 to 9 p.m. on weekdays, hours when classrooms are generally not in use.

When Pedro Barboza Flores walked into the Glendale recruiting office to volunteer for the U.S. Marine Corps two summers ago, he received a discouraging reply. At 6 feet 2 and 220 pounds he was too heavy, older than most at 25, and he needed to finish high school. Staff Sgt. James Anderson thought he'd never see him again. But days later he was back. He had enrolled in GED courses to earn a diploma and started weekly training with the Marines. "My fellow Marines often kid me about how he was his own recruiter," Anderson said.

They gave up a semester's worth of Sundays. They missed practices, lunches and snack breaks. They shrugged off mocking classmates who said they were wasting time. And now, months of sacrifice behind them, eight Glendale High School sophomores who call themselves the YinYangs are gearing up to give world leaders their advice on how to tackle global challenges. The educational adventure they set out on together about five months ago has won them a ticket to St.

A 17-year-old girl testified Friday that her Armenian American friend hit a Latino teenager on the head with a tire iron and then bragged about the bloody attack, which occurred three years ago in front of a Glendale high school. But during cross-examination, Anait Msyran contradicted her earlier statements and said that she had only seen Rafael Gevorgyan swinging the tire iron and wasn't sure that it had actually hit the victim in the head.

Glendale High football player Jason Chamberlin remains in fair condition at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles and is expected to stay through the weekend after collapsing in practice on Wednesday. Hospital spokesman Steve Rutledge said there is no timetable for the release of Chamberlin, a 6-foot-3, 280-pound sophomore offensive lineman. The 14-year-old continues to suffer from dehydration and symptoms related to heatstroke. "His vital signs are stable," Rutledge said.

A Glendale High football player was moved out of intensive care and listed in fair condition Thursday after collapsing and losing consciousness at a practice Wednesday on the school's athletic field.

Nearly 600 high school students are expected to enroll in Saturday proficiency courses offered to students who have failed to pass exams required for graduation. The Board of Education approved the classes Tuesday. They will be held at Glendale's three high schools, and students who fail to pass one or more proficiency exams in reading, writing and math may enroll in the state-funded program, starting Saturday.

A state appellate court Friday dismissed a murder indictment against one of the juveniles charged in the killing of a Glendale high school senior last year and ordered preliminary hearings for the two other minors. Prosecutors can try to refile the charges against Karen Terteryan, but his attorney said he plans to fight any new charges as excessive prosecution of the case. Meanwhile, the other two defendants, Rafael Gevorgyan and Anait Msryan, will have preliminary hearings.

Defense lawyers argued Wednesday that a judge, not prosecutors, should decide whether three teens accused in last year's killing of a Glendale high school senior are tried as adults. The lawyers asked the 2nd District Court of Appeal in Los Angeles to find that the teens had been improperly charged with murder because California law does not permit minors to be indicted by a grand jury.
